Again there is some news about Neymar and Al Hial, it seems they want to hire Renan Lodi and this player can't join Al Hila unless they release a player to this team.
Since Neymar couldn't really help Al Hilal and he wasn't useful in this team and he is currently hardly injured, they want to remove his name from the list to use the empty spot for Renan Lodi. However, the news is not confirmed yet by Al Hilal.

Yes, the Saudi Pro League has very rich finances, but it won't be that easy to bring in star players from Europe because the Saudi Pro League is not enough to convince European star players unless they are old, like Benzema, Neymar and Ronaldo.
The Saudi pro league still has to go through a very long process before it can convince European players because before the Saudi pro league gets tickets to compete in the champions league, European players are hesitant to join here because star players don't just think about money but also think about their future careers. So it's a little difficult to get great players from Europe because star players in Europe want to get as many titles as possible. After that, if they get old, they will think about retirement money and accept offers from the Saudi pro league.

Jordan Henderson is terminating his contract. Because his wife couldn't get used to the life and environment in Saudi Arabia, Henderson gave up his hefty contract and returned to Ajax. They lasted there only half a season. It's really difficult for Europeans to keep up with the reactionary mentality there. The image of the Saudi Arabian league cannot be improved despite spending so much money because they are far behind the times in terms of human rights.

There is always a way to compare Ronaldo and Messi and they each have their own greatness, for me Ronaldo has more value but not up for debate Actually one of the teams from the Saudi Pro League interested in bringing Messi but Messi prefers MLS as his club and maybe we will never see these two players compete against each other in any league except in international matches. I also predict that Messi will retire earlier than Ronaldo because in my opinion Messi has no challenges at his current club while here Ronaldo is still fighting for several titles.

I've read a similar report earlier in the media but until it's finally confirmed, I don't think it's ever gonna be true and that's because of the fact that Neymar Jr is very important figure in football and before he was signed by Al Hilal, they know about his relevance in the sport as well as the fact that he's very prone to injury.

I don't know how long hoes gonna be sidelined before Neymar Jr returns to full action but I'm optimistic that he's surely not gonna be removed from the team list because of his injury which we all know he didn't deliberately cause himself. Until this news is confirmed, we keep our fingers crossed

Well, it seems that Henderson has made a very firm decision to leave one of the Saudi Pro League clubs. and if that's the case, that's what's best for him rather than continuing to push and having his own kind of pressure. especially, as you say. If this is related to a family problem, then Henderson's decision is very correct. and hopefully, I hope, it has nothing to do with his performance with Al Ettifaq. I also read from Romano's report in his tweet, Jordan Henderson has joined Ajax from Al Ettifaq. Al Ettifaq has also confirmed that Jordan Henderson's contract has been terminated by mutual agreement. In fact, it seems that Henderson expressed his words of thanks to the club, fans and everyone involved for this opportunity. at least, the agreement was established well and no problems occurred.

Btw I will not involve human rights with football, what image Saudi Arabia is building has nothing to do with football. the culture they have built has existed since time immemorial, and we must respect what they hold and uphold. Maybe in fact Henderson is not as ideal as his expectations when he joined Al Ettifaq, that's why he chose to return to a European club even though Ajax is also not performing well. I'm waiting for other rumors, yeah, continuation related to Benzema.

Messi might be the greatest when it comes to titles and some other stuffs, but Ronaldo is very influential on and off the pitch he has a lot of charisma and it shown since he moved into the Saudi league, to them Ronaldo presence is like a blessing to the league caused it's influenced both players and fans to be attracted to the Saudi Pro League, this season alone he's scored alot of goals for Al-Nassr and alot of people are now attracted to watching him play.

 Imagine Ronaldo and Messi together in the SPL, it's going to be a very good boost for them, cause these are the two most recognised footballers globally and it's going to attract more audience and viewers, making the league more popular, and also attracting more talents to move there. I think the SPL should also try to attract Messi into joining their  league.

Cristiano Ronaldo alongside Lionel Messi without doubt has been the two greatest players of the last two decades as far as world football is concerned and that's actually earned them a lot of personal accolades and recognitions but when it comes to public influence, it's clear that no one comes close to the Portuguese superstar as he's the most followed footballer across all social media and the most followed human on Instagram in the whole world. The  organizers of the Saudi Pro League knew how much of influence he'll bring to the league should they sign and made sure they did everything within their reach to bring the Portugal national team captain to the middle East league.

Since his arrival to the league, the Saudi Arabian League has gained more global recognition and awareness than they've ever gotten. On the pitch, Cristiano Ronaldo have also been great for the club as he succeeded in scoring the highest number of goals in 2023.

Saudi Arabia will work on the atmosphere of their league because favorable climates doesn't suit in the system of most players, not every seasons we should expects good outcomes. We don't expect European players to become acquainted with SPL football, Jordan Henderson is the perfect illustration for players that part ways with SPL club and returned back to European football. Jordan Henderson losts interest in Saudi Pro League and terminated his contract with his club. He signed for Ajax and I believe he's capable of bouncing back to his prime despite his age.

Of course, the Saudi league has large finances so they can market their league in various ways at their disposal, such as buying many star players from Europe. This will of course attract a lot of football interest who not only watch star players play in the European league but also watch them play. playing in the Saudi league which is parallel to the European leagues that exist throughout the world so that the Saudi league will bring in many investors who will make their league grow and progress significantly.

This is indeed a marketing strategy which is the main reason why the Saudi League recruits big European players because they want a competitive league like the European League with big European players, it can make the name of the Saudi League bigger and because the Saudi League offers are quite high, it makes players European players are interested in coming here and continuing their careers with fantastic salaries.

They are going to keep investing more, but how much more? I mean the fact that Qatar supposedly spent that much, is beyond understanding, and if they start building bigger and better more modern stadiums at SA right now, they will eb finished by 2030 for sure, hell if they start now, by 2023 it would be "old" stadium to be fair, so they have a few more years to start for sure.

I think the best thing to do at this point would be just making sure the best what they can with the money they are spending. I always said that SA knew that they are going to run out of oil, so the yare investing into things that will keep on making money for afterwards, and football is a good example, if they grow enough, it will generate revenue for sure.

It doesn't matter which of Ronaldo or Messi is the best because anyway, based on the fans of them will also certainly say that their idol players are the best. Because yes, I personally very disappointed with FIFA's decision to choose Messi as the best player despite the fact that there are young players in this era who deserve the award like Haaland or other young players like Mbappe or whoever it is or maybe Bellingham. Because after all, if I consider Messi after leaving Barcelona, in fact Messi didn't have big achievements in the next team like at PSG and now at Inter Miami too. Therefore, I think FIFA chose the wrong player in giving this award, because there not great achievements that Messi has at this moment.

It is hoped that the peak of investment (PIF) in the development of Saudi football will occur in 2034, when FIFA has officially appointed Saudi as the host for the 2034 edition of the World Cup. Starting with the construction of the Saudi League (SPL) with the recruitment of Ronaldo, which is believed to be the gateway for other top European players play there. It's true, before Ronaldo came to the SPL, many of us didn't know what the SPL was like, how the competition for trophies was, and we never even knew there were clubs called Al Nassr, Al Hilad, Al Ittihad and so on. Al Nassr succeeded in taking advantage of the momentum, recruiting Ronaldo from Man United who Ten Hag no longer wanted, a big leap occurred where the SPL suddenly became famous just because of Ronaldo existence.

To reach a competitive level that is close to the Top European Leagues, of course it takes time, it cannot be achieved in a short time. Even though financially, PIF can easily buy players from any league, it is even believed that PIF can easily acquire any club in Europe. However, this does not necessarily increase the intensity of competition, because on the other hand, only four clubs are currently covered by PIF. The competition at the moment is certainly not balanced, the strengths of the fellow contesting clubs in the SPL are very different, because only four clubs have sufficient strength and squad depth. Over time, it is possible that other SPL clubs will increase their strength so that in the end, there will be tight competition.

In the future, I think it will not only be players who will be recruited, but top European coaches will also likely be recruited. The latest news is that Jose Mourinho is also being linked with a move to the SPL, following the steps of Steven Gerrard, who previously coached Al Ettifaq. I think sooner or later the SPL will gain a place in the eyes of football fans, and with the League image increasing, it will automatically increase the fan base that follows the developments that occur there.
